Summary of Changes

IDEAS 6.19.0.0 has the following features and fixes:

Features

Partially Pay an Invoice in 2 Currencies

As a follow-up to the ability to pay an invoice in another currency, IDEAS 6.19.0.0 allows you to partially pay an invoice in one currency and pay the balance in another.  As an example, an invoice is raised in USD but an initial partial payment must be made in the local currency.  The invoice would be entered in USD, and the local payment currency would be specified with the appropriate exchange rate in the invoice.  During payment, the partial payment is made in the local currency.  On a subsequent payment, the payment currency of local currency can be changed to USD, and the exchange rate is set to 1.0000 and the payment is then made in USD.  This change can be made in either Edit Cash Requirements or Manual Checks.

Additionally, the ability to change the rate in Edit Cash Requirements or the Manual Check screen has been given.  In this scenario, it was determined that the exchange rate recorded in the initial invoice record was incorrect.  Instead of reopening the invoice record and adjusting the exchange rate and then revalidating and approving the invoice for payment, the user can simply change the rate, and the new payment amount will be calculated.
